Well, I am :-). It's nowhere close to being finished, but I am making
progress. I think the current situation is already a lot better than
when you started your multi-arch work.
A big problem is the fact that there are a lot of unmaintained x86
targets. I'd like to obsolete a few of them once we get GDB 5.1 out
of the door, but even then there are targets that I cannot test, and
will be hard to multi-arch. I'm thinking about multi-arching only a
subset of the x86 targets, leaving the others basically alone. Would
that be acceptable to you?
Anyway, once I've multi-arched the x86, whe should probably integrate
the x86_64 target a bit closer with it.
